How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Number of implants, Attachment type (1-3), and Arch (1-2).
  2. Set Bone quality (D1-D4).
  3. Review the Total retention force (N) result.
  4. Use Implant count adequate (0/1) and Stability score (0-100) to inform your decision.

What each input means

Number of implants
Number of implants supporting the overdenture.
Attachment type (1-3)
1 = Locator, 2 = ball/o-ring, 3 = bar.
Arch (1-2)
1 = maxilla, 2 = mandible.
Bone quality (D1-D4)
Misch bone density classification.

What each result means

Total retention force (N)
Combined retention force from all attachments.
Implant count adequate (0/1)
1 = meets minimum implant recommendations for the arch.
Stability score (0-100)
Overall prosthesis stability assessment.
Component replacement (months)
Expected interval between attachment component replacements.
Annual maintenance ($)
Estimated annual maintenance cost.
Est. total cost ($)
Estimated total treatment cost.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Number of implants = 2, Attachment type (1-3) = 1, Arch (1-2) = 2, Bone quality (D1-D4) = 2 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total retention force
    Total retention force
    30 = 30
  3. Calculate Implant count adequate
    Implant count adequate
    1 = 1
  4. Calculate Stability score
    Stability score
    95 = 95
